i know this isint the board to post this kind of stuff, but i got a question,,....ok to make a long story short, my younger brother was replacing the batteries in our jetskis, and accidentley put the positive to the negative and the negative to the positive, now it wont do anything, did he burn out the starter or is there a fuse that blew or what, please if anybody can help me it would be great so i can fix it soon.

there is probably a fuse or breaker somwhere. at worst it could be the solenoid switch. you didnt mess up the starter.

It probably doesnt matter anymore, because I heard as of 2004 they are being outlawed everywhere. It has already started here on some of the California, Nevada and Arizona recreational lakes.

Matt, if you can find the elecrtical box ( there should be a ton of wires running to it) there should be a "reset button" It will be poped up if for some reason it needs to be reset, like mixing up the terminals. It is a long shot but it could be whats the matter.

Hey man I did this with my friend about two weeks ago. It blew a fuse. Look in your owners manual there should be a little fuse box somewhere a 2002 Yamaha xlt has 2 fuses and 2 spares, i think the 20 amp one is the one that blew on his. replace it and it should be fine. make sure u buy another fuse though to replace the spare.....hate to be DIW cause of a simple blown fuse. hope this helps u out. Later

kieron, i pulled them out of the garage like 3 weeks ago and toyed with all the wires i found where the fuses were and they were blown, that is just what was wrong with it

Grouch-LLC, thats a bunch of bull. Maybe outlaw them in like parks and stuff but no way would they outlaw them every where. Confused

he might of ment that they are outlawing the production of 2 stroke engines, i had heard that like in the year 2005 or so that they were only going to make 4 strokes? thats just my 2 cents
